1. Hajime Play
Hajime

Winter melts away
Everything undone
Wither and decay
Moss beneath the sun

And with the touch of rain on our skin
Misty dewdrops in our eyes
Mother Nature longs to begin
Rituals of cool reprise

From the cracking wood
They emerge into the air
All is understood
Breathless in a prayer

Welcome to the dawning age
Plant your feet into the sand
And with careful thought engage
Virile life across this land

2. Red July Play
Red July

In the deep
The birds fast asleep
Black skies
Seem to weep

Moonlight, do we dare?
Day, night - they don't care

But I'm still here
Don't pass me by
Yes I'm still here,
My red July

Is it fate
Our footfalls await?
Blind fear
Turns too great

3. The Winds of Change Play
The Winds of Change

If in your dreams you're wide awake,
You might be
If suddenly there's more at stake
Than sand and sea
You wait for the day
You wait for the day

Call the rising sun
Call the winds of change
For our paths are one,
Aren't they?

And when the rain falls from above
To hide me
It's in this feeling, in this love
That we will be
One moment away
One moment away

And if those threads you made do fall apart
You know you'll always have my heart
And when the mountain peak seems too high to climb
I will pull you every time

4. The Secret Guards of Kalé Play
The Secret Guards of Kalé

In the hidden world of dreams,
Where nothing is the way it seems
Oh, I went walking through the mists of morning

Passing by a sunken plain,
I wandered into new domain
But voices whispering from the trees surrounded me
And they said:

"Follow blindly
Into Kalé
And you will wind up
Lost inside

Secrets binding
All the valley
The winds remind us:
Move aside!"

Breathing harder, senses reeling
I held onto that feeling
For it showed me I was not alone

And if ever I return,
I hope too see them through the ferny glades
And thank them for their words of warning
Cause they said:

6. Twilight Chaser Play
Twilight Chaser

Where sounds fade away,
Where light cannot stay,
In silence, they steep
What rays you keep.

Your needs come alive,
(Into the shadows, go.)
So pressed to survive,
(Beneath the branches' sway,)
The places you stir,
(Onward, racing,)
Twilight chaser.

And in this fight,
All is lost to the night.
For in this race, you're facing what you dream.
It's in the scheme, just out of sight.

And if you win,
All things left to begin,
Then you know you gotta claim the day
Before it slips away.

The deep calls your name,
(A voice that dances,)
Oh, slave to the flame.
(Why don't you answer it?)
And yet, you prefer
(Soul embracing,)
"Twilight Chaser."

8. Breathe and Dive Play
Breathe and Dive

Waiting, knowing
You're right on time
Drift in, flowing
To worlds sublime

You run so far away
In the mist of night
You breathe and dive

You reach the bright array
And you hold the light
You hold the light
(Breathe and dive)

Sinking, floating
You weigh the tide
Flickering, glowing
This heart inside

9. Avalon Play
Avalon

Far away, sheltered by
Fields of grain swept by the breeze,
There's a place hidden from
The lonely world I long to be...

To wield the land,
To hear the sea
Upon the sands
Of ivory,
To feel your kiss
Fade with the dawn,
Beneath the mists,
O, Avalon.

Is it real or a dream
This breathing isle, this beating heart,
Where the rains melt the sky
In sheets of haze that they part?

This part of me -
Secret and strange -
How, through the years,
Are you still unchanged?

When I wake, don't let go,
Haven of light, my only home.
Wait a while, and once more,
Hold out your shores for me to roam.

10. Shadows Play
Shadows

Figures moving under the rain
I see glowing streetlights blurring the pain
Children on the corner
Staring as I drive away
Hand prints on the window
They all fade to gray

Have you ever seen a shadow?
Have you ever known what they know?
Have you ever seen a shadow,
And left one behind?

Shifting, changing, never the same
And the cold wind wonders how they became
Wishing for an answer
Hoping one day it'll change
Praying for the flesh and the blood to fill them

Blending exotic instrumentation with passionate and ethereal vocals, the earth comes alive as Origins invokes its new beginnings.  With the magic of musical storytelling - and inspirations such as Enya and Loreena McKennitt - Jillian takes you on a journey through the awakening, and invites you to celebrate in its mysteries. 

Noting the lack of lyric-centric works in contemporary New Age music, through Origins Jillian emphasizes her belief that words and music together have the potential to traverse exciting terrain, weaving an elaborate tapestry of sound and thought that is unique to one's own perceptions.  The album is as much an exploration in text as in music, unified by themes of mystery, plight, and catharsis.

Weightless, the feelings

Breathing you out, I feel our memories entwine
Finally, finally
Set me free

zircon - Antigravity - Breathing You In [feat. Jillian Goldin]

Zircon's third album, featuring the voice of Jillian Goldin, packs a punch with soaring, pulsating, genre-bending rhythms and melodies.  Antigravity is the musical culmination of two full years of work. Though most of the songs focus on sharp, driving drumlines, the genres included range from big beat, to trance, drum n' bass, new age/world fusion, and more.  Regardless of style, zircon (a.k.a. Andrew Aversa) continues to apply stunning attention to detail in his complex sonic textures and dynamic songwriting, which draws its inspiration from artists like BT, Prodigy, Chemical Brothers, Fatboy Slim, The Crystal Method, Ils,  Pendulum, and others.

3. Dreaming Still Play Download
Dreaming Still

Sometimes I lie awake at night and wait
The shadows changing on the hollow wall
And moonlight streaming through my windowpane
Leaves me cold, under the shroud of nightfall

You're there beside me in my deepest dreams
A ghost of all the weight I feel within
And floating endlessly, my heart believes
That we are one, ready to touch, to begin

Imagine how your lips would taste on mine
And how your breath would feel against my eyes
My heart is racing for the millionth time
Don't let go of this thought, otherwise

There's a haze, a feeling that I get with you
And this hand won't let go
Lead me, show me just how love's supposed to feel
So that I won't be dreaming...

Journey's End

The tide's come in
But I can't go on again
I feel a voice within fading

I need your touch
Why does it hurt so much?
I've never known such loneliness

The world is right
But I'm so alone this night
I can't find the light; guide me

Take heart
I'm by your side
Though we're apart
I have not died

Lend us your strength, and with your arms
Defend, keep safe the land

Nayru, the wise

Show us the spirit of peace
And we will dry their tears

Send us a hero, give us hope
That someday the sun will shine
